Face Mug

I am satisfied with the end result. I learned how to form a face using clay, and I learned how to work with this particular clay. I also learned how to make a pinch pot, and smooth the clay down successfully. About myself I learned that I am good at working with clay. Although I wasn’t necessarily inspired by a certain person I think that the end result looks like an older person with a snooty personality.

Coil Pot

I made a pinch pot and rolled coils to build it up. I wanted to give my pot a natural look and I think that the shape portrays that. I added small little flower like designs all around the pot to give it an even more natural look. I was trying to portray the pot as if it was naturally occurring in nature. The beautiful jade elements with the brown exterior give the pot an elegant yet still natural design that I was going for.
